1. Position your child’s desk this way
Parents who might be concerned about their children’s education in 2019, Dato Joey has one piece of advice, especially for those taking exams.
“Position their study desk away from the wall. It would be better to have their back towards the wall. By doing this, you are giving them a stable Yin Form behind them. This also represents the support they need for them to study,” he advises.
2. Those returning to the workforce should upgrade their skills first
Mummies who wish to return to the workforce in the Year of the Earth Boar should be wary that the first half of the year will be looking pretty slow. But Dato Joey says to be prepared for opportunities presenting itself in the second half of 2019.
“Those who were on a hiatus face stiff competition and difficulties. Do not be disheartened. Take this opportunity to upgrade yourself by acquiring new skills. Manage your expectations based on this when finding a job. Put what you need first. It is not advisable to be selective or picky when you need to support your family,” he adds.
3. Declutter your home
The reason behind all this is simple: less physical clutter means less mental clutter, which means more productivity for yourself, says Dato Joey.
